Seven years ago, I made the commitment to dive headfirst into the world of Italian wine—first by uprooting our lives and moving to Italy, where Paula Thomas and I spent two and a half transformative years while earning our Master’s degrees at the University of Gastronomic Sciences - Pollenzo.

Today, I’m honored and incredibly grateful to share that I have now joined the ranks of just 18 Italian Wine Experts worldwide
